35: Chapter 35 Mutant, Tyrant of Power

After seeing off the last batch of guests who came to pay their respects, Chen Mo returned to his residence.

"Activate the protective Formation."

"Yes, Master."

Rings of protective Formation patterns lit up, and in the blink of an eye, this meditation room, which was less than ten square meters in area, was protected by layers of Formations.

Come to think of it, this world is truly wondrous; simple magic Formations have long been outdated, and these protective Formations engraved with magic runes and driven by machinery are the mainstream.

As the protective Formation was activated, Chen Mo took out the storage bracelet that Zhao Changdong had given him and infused it with his Divine Power.

He had previously discovered that this storage bracelet was much more Advanced than the one he used daily, as it came with a built-in System for identifying Divine Power.

"According to the standards of the enhanced a-rank contract, as a First-Turn Demigod, I can receive three Rank-6 divine power cards, three Rank-6 resource cards, and..."

With a wave of his right hand, six cards shimmering with a faint golden glow appeared before him, along with a translucent crystal that looked somewhat similar to a divine domain stone.

"'Experience Stone', how nostalgic!"

Looking at the translucent crystal, Chen Mo wore an expression of deep emotion.

In his past Life, this item was affectionately called an Experience Stone by players. As for what it actually was—

A plane core!

In the eyes of players, a plane core containing immense Plane Power was the best way to quickly increase Rank.

Given that Plane Power equals experience, what else could it be if not an Experience Stone?

Blue Cave Technology clearly knew what he was most lacking at the moment, so they had replaced all the divine arts resources that should have been given to Chen Mo with plane core fragments.

That's right, this was just a fragment.

But in terms of true value, this item was worth at least ten million credits, and there was nowhere to buy it even if one wanted to. After all, treasures capable of providing Plane Power were things that even Main Gods would not complain about having too many of.

"Yu Mo, if anyone looks for me, tell them I am in seclusion in my divine domain."

"O-okay!"

Before Yu Mo could finish her sentence, Chen Mo had already disappeared from the meditation room.

"Welcome back. The interval for this time is 177 divine domain days. Divine domain area +409 {kilometers}, Power Of Faith +531,000, total number of kin +0, Tier 2 units +145, Tier 3 units +3, special units +1."

Above the divine domain, Chen Mo, who was reviewing the divine domain logs, felt his eyes light up and immediately set off, flying towards Blood Beast Canyon.

At this moment, Blood Beast Canyon had already changed its appearance.

Besides the thousands of extra caves, a huge statue modeled after Chen Mo stood in the very center of the canyon.

In front of the statue, a 'pilgrimage squad' composed of 192 Lickers that had completed their transformation was respectfully prostrated on the ground.

At the very front of the squad, a bald, muscular giant with bulging muscles and standing five meters tall was also kneeling on the ground, waiting for the arrival of Chen Mo, their Divine Master.

"Divine... Master!"

Some stiff syllables were slowly spat out, and at this moment, Chen Mo landed on his own stone statue.

"After waiting for so long, the mutation effect of the Chaos Blessing has finally taken effect!"

Chen Mo looked at that tall figure, and its basic panel appeared before his eyes.

[Note: In the Mutation state, the various data of the Mutated Species will continuously 'rise' with the mutation value until the next 'evolution'}

"A Tyrant of Strength, but that's not bad."

Chen Mo nodded gently after reading the full attributes of the other party.

The Tyrant is a relatively low-end Advanced form among Mutated Species; as long as a Licker can reach Tier 4, there is a significant probability of it becoming a Tyrant.

However, there are a few lucky ones who can complete the advancement during the second mutation, and this guy in front of him is clearly one of them.

As for the Tyrant of Strength, this is one of the several mutant variants of the Tyrant, and its strength is far above that of a normal Tyrant.

Chen Mo was secretly pleased, and his gaze then swept over the other kin below.

Besides the Tyrant of Strength, there were two other Lickers below that had completed their second mutation.

Kin: Mutated Species · Licker {Second Mutation}

Rating: Elite-

Rank: 32 {Transcendence Tier 3}

Strength 35, Speed 46, Spirit 37

Abilities:

[Tongue Spear]: The Licker's strongest attack method, using the tongue as a spear, especially good at surprise attacks.

Faith Level: True Believer

Special Status: [Mutation] {Count 2, Third mutation progress: 1.4%}

[Note: In the Mutation state, the various data of the Mutated Species will continuously 'rise' with the mutation value until the next 'evolution'}

Apart from some growth in attributes, there was not much change in the essence of the second-mutation Lickers.

However, being able to complete the second mutation before so many of their kind was enough to demonstrate the potential of these two Lickers.

If there were no surprises, as long as they completed the third mutation and promoted to Tier 4, these two guys should both be able to transform into Tyrants.

"From now on, I will call you Blood One."

Chen Mo looked at the Tyrant of Strength again and spoke softly.

"Thank... you... Divine Master... for the name!"

The Tyrant of Strength, having completed its second mutation and being a mutant variant itself, clearly possessed preliminary intelligence, which was the key to its transformation from a True Believer to a Fanatic.

However, a single Fanatic had no other use besides providing more Power Of Faith, but if it became a Saint-level kin, that would be a different matter.

Saints are also called Divine Apostles.

This type of kin possessing absolute faith could be used as a carrier for descent.

For example, the tortoise used by Zhao Changdong for his divine kingdom teleportation earlier was a Saint-level kin.

Special methods like divine kingdom teleportation and divine descent all required believers of this level.

In a sense, a Saint is equivalent to an Incarnation of a Shinto deity; this point is very critical on the outer-realm battlefield.

"Mm!" Chen Mo nodded, acknowledging it.

The next second, he suddenly raised his hand, and a wisp of golden light shot straight towards Blood One, who was still immersed in the joy of being named.

Blood One looked up in confusion, then collapsed with a bang, splashing dust everywhere.

Facing this scene, the remaining Lickers were all unmoved.

Anyone whose Faith Level reached True Believer would unhesitatingly dedicate everything, even their lives, to their Divine Master.

Therefore, even if Chen Mo were to execute them right now, these Lickers would not even frown.

"I was wondering how to use these three 'god-bestowed cards' earlier; I didn't expect to find a suitable target so quickly."

Chen Mo smiled; the six pale gold cards he was holding now had one less.
